Hi LG, looks quite a good Salmon Fly.
Is this for the River Eden?
Getting ready for the Sea Trout Fishing in May, so have been busy tying some silver stoat tube flies on 10mm x 1.5 mm needle tubes.
They are dressed sparsely, with the advice. from Forum Members.
See you in June or July for a cast or two.
Regards, Holly.
